# ExtractedText

`public class ExtractedText`
`extends Object` `implements Parcelable`

java.lang.Object
↳ | android.view.inputmethod.ExtractedText

Information about text that has been extracted for use by an input method. This contains information about a portion of the currently edited text, that the IME should display into its own interface while in extracted mode.

## Summary

### Constants
`int` | `FLAG_SELECTING` Bit for `flags`: set if the editor is currently in selection mode.
`int` | `FLAG_SINGLE_LINE` Bit for `flags`: set if the text being edited can only be on a single line.

### Inherited constants
From interface `android.os.Parcelable`
`int` | `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` Descriptor bit used with `describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.
`int` | `PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE` Flag for use with `writeToParcel(Parcel, int)`: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "`Parcelable someFunction()`", "`void someFunction(out Parcelable)`", or "`void someFunction(inout Parcelable)`".

### Fields
`public static final Creator<ExtractedText>` | `CREATOR` Used to make this class parcelable.
`public int` | `flags` Additional bit flags of information about the edited text.
`public CharSequence` | `hint` The hint that has been extracted.
`public int` | `partialEndOffset` If the content is a report of a partial text change, this is the offset where the change ends.
`public int` | `partialStartOffset` If the content is a report of a partial text change, this is the offset where the change starts and it runs until `partialEndOffset`.
`public int` | `selectionEnd` The offset where the selection currently ends within the extracted text.
`public int` | `selectionStart` The offset where the selection currently starts within the extracted text.
`public int` | `startOffset` The offset in the overall text at which the extracted text starts.
`public CharSequence` | `text` The text that has been extracted.

### Public constructors
`ExtractedText()`

### Public methods
`int` | `describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`void` | `writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Used to package this object into a `Parcel`.

### Inherited methods
From class `java.lang.Object`
`Object` | `clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean` | `equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void` | `finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>` | `getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int` | `hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void` | `notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void` | `notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String` | `toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void` | `wait(long timeout, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void` | `wait(long timeout)` Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
`final void` | `wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object.
From interface `android.os.Parcelable`
`abstract int` | `describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`abstract void` | `writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

## Constants

### FLAG_SELECTING

    public static final int FLAG_SELECTING

Bit for `flags`: set if the editor is currently in selection mode. This happens when a hardware keyboard with latched keys is attached and the shift key is currently latched.

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

### FLAG_SINGLE_LINE

    public static final int FLAG_SINGLE_LINE

Bit for `flags`: set if the text being edited can only be on a single line.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

## Fields

### CREATOR

    public static final Creator<ExtractedText> CREATOR

Used to make this class parcelable.

### flags

    public int flags

Additional bit flags of information about the edited text.

### hint

    public CharSequence hint

The hint that has been extracted.

See also:

- `TextView.getHint()`

### partialEndOffset

    public int partialEndOffset

If the content is a report of a partial text change, this is the offset where the change ends. Note that the actual text may be larger or smaller than the difference between this and `partialStartOffset`, meaning a reduction or increase, respectively, in the total text.

### partialStartOffset

    public int partialStartOffset

If the content is a report of a partial text change, this is the offset where the change starts and it runs until `partialEndOffset`. If the content is the full text, this field is -1.

### selectionEnd

    public int selectionEnd

The offset where the selection currently ends within the extracted text. The real selection end position is at startOffset+selectionEnd.

### selectionStart

    public int selectionStart

The offset where the selection currently starts within the extracted text. The real selection start position is at startOffset+selectionStart.

### startOffset

    public int startOffset

The offset in the overall text at which the extracted text starts.

### text

    public CharSequence text

The text that has been extracted.

See also:

- `TextView.getText()`

## Public constructors

### ExtractedText

    public ExtractedText ()

## Public methods

### describeContents

    public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of `writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int)`, the return value of this method must include the `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` bit.

Returns
`int` | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either `0` or `CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`

### writeToParcel

    public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest,
                    int flags)

Used to package this object into a `Parcel`.

Parameters
`dest` | `Parcel`: The `Parcel` to be written.
`flags` | `int`: The flags used for parceling.
